PelicanBill Posted July 9, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Arriving New Orleans at Julia St. Terminal and after collecting luggage and clearing immigration will need a taxi. There are two ships arriving that morning. The narrow street looks, well, narrow! Is taxi stand right there when you get outside or farther away? With two ships, will traffic be so bad we should consider walking out the Julia Street pedestrian walkway and finding a taxi elsewhere? And will a taxi be unwilling to take us for a short ride (0.3) mile to a hotel in the French Quarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted July 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There will be lots of cabs lined up where you leave the terminal. No need to walk anywhere. They charge a flat rate (I think it is $7 per person) for a trip anywhere in the downtown/French Quarter area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted July 10, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thank you! Flat rate is good. There have been discussions about passengers returning from cruises in NYC and taxi drivers refusing fares that went a short distance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PelicanBill Posted August 30, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Thanks. Going to save streetcars for fun not transport. Beside, wife is mobility limited so luggage plus stairs is bad! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
